He trained at Birds College, and specialised in ballet, Jazz and contemporary dance.

 

Karl went on to have a varied and very successful dance career, which has included touring with Sylvie Guillem in Bolero, West End shows including Cats, Song & Dance, Guys & Dolls, and as an original cast member of Billy Elliot. Karl also danced in the movies of Cats and Phantom of the Opera.  

 

Karl has worked regularly with Billy Elliot choreographer Peter Darling on workshops for his new productions including Lord of the Rings and Charlie and Chocolate Factory.

Movement Warrior classes has been running successfully in south west London for 5 years now, alongside delivering classes from the Balletboyz Studio in Kingston. Karl has also been guest teaching and choreographing at many performing arts colleges over the years, and also providing workshops for The Imagination Institute London. 

​

As of summer 2017, Karl and Movement Warriors are now part of the faculty for the Royal Ballet International Summer School, at which Karl delivered workshops to high acclaim this year and will be returning for summer 2018 and on.

​

Karl’s goal is to pass on his knowledge and passion for dance to young people, using the philosophy he has put to work so successfully through Movement Warriors.
